Consequences of climate change for some segments of the Norwegian fishing fleet
This paper identifies the possible effects of climate change on fish stocks important for the Norwegian fishing fleet along with information on the Norwegian harvest pattern in the past can tell us something about the consequences of a changing climate for the fishing fleet. A survey the Directorate...
